Özet:

In the Ottoman state, justice was mainly sought to be secured in women’s courts. In cases where women’s courts are unable to provide justice, the Supreme Court of the Divan-i Hümayun, which also hosts the highest judicial body in the center of the state, has seen a higher court office. The Ahkam Books are books created for 17 states in the Ottoman geography since 1742, and containing the complaints of the public. The main objective in the creation of the Ahkam Books is to create the central hand of justice that cannot be established locally. Antakya will be the largest affiliated with the state of Halep. The Ahkam Books are an indispensable source for the city history in terms of providing a rich archive material that covers individual complaints, taxes, equality, Muslim-Islamic relations. These books are also official documents that reflect the view of Divan-i Hümayun, who represents the center of the state and the problems there.
